Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and UScellular (NYSE: USM) today announced an infrastructure upgrade, leveraging Ericsson's existing Router 6000 portfolio along with the newly announced Router 6671, aimed at closing the digital divide in rural America through bolstering 5G transport infrastructure and enhancing high-speed internet access.
爱立信(纳斯达克股票代码:ERIC)和USCellular(纽约证券交易所代码:USM)今天宣布进行基础设施升级,利用爱立信现有的路由器6000产品组合以及新发布的路由器6671,旨在通过加强5G传输基础设施和增强高速互联网接入来缩小美国农村地区的数字鸿沟。
This collaboration leverages Ericsson's advanced cell-site router technology to provide the necessary transport infrastructure for efficient utilization of mid-band spectrum for radio access network (RAN) deployment that both companies embarked on in 2023.
此次合作利用了爱立信先进的蜂窝基站路由器技术,为有效利用中频段频谱进行两家公司于2023年启动的无线接入网络 (RAN) 部署提供了必要的传输基础设施。
UScellular has recognized the critical need for robust transport infrastructure to effectively deploy 5G networks in rural areas. This alliance is designed to ensure reliable and secure backhaul, site deployment flexibility, optimized port speeds and density for traffic aggregation, and advanced synchronization for superior RAN performance. Router 6671 future-proofs the already significant installed base of Ericsson Router 6000 products deployed across the UScellular network footprint, marking significant progress in this initiative.
USCellular已经认识到,迫切需要强大的交通基础设施,以便在农村地区有效部署5G网络。该联盟旨在确保可靠和安全的回程、站点部署灵活性、优化流量聚合的端口速度和密度以及高级同步以实现卓越的 RAN 性能。Router 6671使部署在USCellular网络覆盖范围内的爱立信路由器6000产品本已庞大的安装基础经得起未来考验,这标志着该计划取得了重大进展。
When the technology became available, UScellular became the first customer in the world to deploy Ericsson's newly announced Router 6671, showcased at MWC 2024. This positions UScellular as a key player in utilizing Ericsson's state-of-the-art equipment and expertise to build robust and reliable 5G networks.
当这项技术问世时,USCellular成为世界上第一个部署爱立信新发布的路由器6671的客户,该路由器在2024年世界移动大会上展出。这使USCellular成为利用爱立信最先进的设备和专业知识来建立强大可靠的5G网络的关键参与者。
"This collaboration is about more than just connectivity – it's about empowering communities while boosting local economies and enabling modern digital services," said Narothum Saxena, vice president of technology, strategy and architecture at UScellular. "From supporting Fixed Wireless Access solutions and enhancing mobility to improving access to essential services like online education and healthcare, together with Ericsson we are committed to transforming rural America's digital landscape."
USCellular技术、战略和架构副总裁Narothum Saxena表示:“这种合作不仅仅是连接——它还涉及增强社区能力,同时促进当地经济和实现现代数字服务。”“从支持固定无线接入解决方案和增强移动性到改善在线教育和医疗保健等基本服务的获取,我们与爱立信一起,致力于改变美国农村地区的数字格局。”
The advancement and integration of cutting-edge 5G transport technology is critical for deploying mid-band spectrum, supported by Ericsson's best-in-class RAN transport site routers. Router 6000 provides the transport capacity necessary to fully harness the capabilities of the mid-band spectrum, alongside industry-leading RAN-near features like advanced synchronization while lowering the total cost of ownership with features such as Router 6000's ultra-low power consumption and *NESAS-certified security. These capabilities fuel more efficient and sustainable performance in rural and suburban areas within the UScellular footprint.
尖端的5G传输技术的进步和集成对于部署由爱立信一流的RAN传输站点路由器支持的中频段频谱至关重要。Router 6000 提供了充分利用中频段频谱功能所需的传输容量,以及业界领先的 RAN-near 功能,例如高级同步,同时通过路由器 6000 的超低功耗和*NESAS 认证的安全性等功能降低了总拥有成本。这些能力为USCellular覆盖范围内的农村和郊区提供了更高效、更可持续的绩效。
"While we make technology, connecting people, allowing them to accelerate their business is at the heart of our purpose," said Bill Chotiner, Vice President & Chief Technology Officer for Customer Unit Regional Customers, Ericsson North America. "By using our advanced Router 6671 alongside New Radio Time Division Duplexing (NR TDD) technology, UScellular is delivering unprecedented connectivity and broadband speeds in its markets. While this is a technological advancement, we're even more proud of what this means for the people and communities who are now enabled and empowered with expanded and enhanced connectivity. This continued collaboration is a bold step forward and part of bringing an even better 5G experience to more communities in America."
爱立信北美地区客户部副总裁兼首席技术官比尔·乔蒂纳说:“在我们制造技术的同时,连接人们,让他们加快业务发展是我们目标的核心。”“通过使用我们先进的路由器6671和新的无线电时分双工(NR TDD)技术,USCellular正在为其市场提供前所未有的连接和宽带速度。尽管这是一项技术进步,但我们更自豪的是,这对人们和社区来说意味着什么,因为他们现在已经有了扩展和增强的连接能力。这种持续的合作是向前迈出的大胆一步,也是为美国更多社区带来更好的5G体验的一部分。”
Ericsson's portfolio is already deployed in the UScellular network, showcasing the effectiveness of Centralized RAN in achieving peak spectral efficiency and capacity, while reducing overall network costs in population centers through consolidation of network resources to maximize utilization. UScellular now has the option to deploy the advanced capabilities of the new Router 6671, further enhancing synchronization and capacity to support robust 5G mid-band deployments.
爱立信的产品组合已经部署在USCellular网络中,展示了集中式RAN在实现峰值频谱效率和容量方面的有效性,同时通过整合网络资源以最大化利用率来降低人口中心的总体网络成本。USCellular现在可以选择部署新款路由器6671的高级功能,进一步增强同步和容量,以支持强大的5G中频段部署。
Together, Ericsson and UScellular will be able to elevate internet speeds, capacity, and reliability for rural residents across the country, aligning with the standards set by 5G mid-band spectrum deployment. This helps fulfill the promise of important use cases like precision agriculture, smart farms, remote education, and telemedicine – making these even more accessible in rural America.
爱立信和USCellular共同将能够提高全国农村居民的互联网速度、容量和可靠性,使之符合5G中频频段频谱部署设定的标准。这有助于兑现精准农业、智能农场、远程教育和远程医疗等重要用例的承诺,使美国农村更容易获得这些用例。
